"Texas has launched a probe into Shein, accusing it of selling unsafe, toxic products to US consumers. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a Monday news release that his office was investigating the fast-fashion giant for potential violations of Texas law, "related to unethical labor practices and the sale of unsafe consumer products." Paxton referenced Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s " Make America Healthy Again" campaign in the release, saying that safe and non-toxic products were a key ingredient in the movement."
"Any company that cuts corners on labor standards or product safety, especially those operating in foreign nations like China, will be held accountable," Paxton said in the release. Shein is headquartered in Singapore and sources many of its products from China. "Texans deserve to know that the companies they buy from are ethical, safe, transparent, and not exploiting workers or selling harmful products. I will not allow cheap, dangerous, foreign goods to flood America and jeopardize our health,"Paxton said."
